ArkInventory
ArkInventory (for The War Within)
:boom: Please ensure you are using the latest alpha version if you have the War Within client.
ArkInventory (for Retail, Classic, and Cataclysm)
ArkInventory's display windows are built from "virtual bars", you assign categories to bars so that items in that category are displayed on the specific bars you want. There is no limit to the number of bars you can have inside a window but obviously you only have so much screen real estate before it becomes "too many".
ArkInventory uses several methods to assign a default category to an item such as what professions you have, tooltip scanning, basic type/subtype and PeriodicTable. You then assign those categories to a virtual bar.
You can also over-ride the default category by creating a rule that matches either a single or multiple items.
Overview:
- user configurable window width and height
- separate keybindings for each location for easy viewing
- assign items to a category of your choice (overrides the default assignment)
- assign categories to the bar of your choice
- unlimited number of bars (there are practical limits though before your screen becomes full)
- sort each bar differently if required
- user configurable bars per row
- sell junk items automatically or manually (delete available via a keybinding or right clicking when at a vendor)
- random pet and mount summons. can also assign a group of them to select from
Key Bindings:
- Press ESCAPE to bring up the blizzard menu
- click on Key Bindings
- scroll down to AddOns > ArkInventory
- bind the keys you want to use

:memo: If you are having an issue the first step is to disable all other mods and test with only ArkInventory loaded
:memo: If the issue is still there, please check for an existing issue and create a new issue if required.
:memo: If the issue is gone, re-enable your other mods one by one until the issue comes back, then note the last mod you enabled in your issue as well as notifying the author of the other mod
See ChangeHistory.md for changes to the latest version. See VersionHistory.md for all previous changes.
:boom: The NoLib variant
it seems quite a few people are somehow getting the NoLib variant from their download client when they didn't specifically ask for it, instead of the full variant, and its causing issues as they don't have the required libraries installed separately. Please ensure you are downloading the full. if you see nolib in the filename then its the wrong variant, unless you are actually installing all of the required libraries separately as well. If you have to you can manually download the full variant from CurseForge, WoWInterface, or Wago.
:boom: Junk Sell getting blocked
While auto-destroy remains blocked, From 30960 onwards you can setup a Key Binding to manually sell and destroy your items. Note that blizzard require one keypress per item deletion, so if you have multiple items that need to be deleted you will need to press the Key Binding multiple times. A message will be output if you have remaining items that can still be deleted.
:warning: Ensure you have backup copies of your saved variables file
Sometimes you cannot revert back to a previous version without a backup, especially alpha or beta versions, so before upgrading please make sure you have made a backup of your saved variables file
Your saved variables file is normally located at ...\World of Warcraft\_client_\WTF\Account\yourwowaccountname\SavedVariables\ArkInventory.lua
It is your responsibility to ensure you have adequate backups of your saved variables file. You dont have to do them frequently, just after you've made major changes to your config is probably fine for most people, but you should get into the habit of making backups because when it does corrupt you wont have to reconfigure everything from scratch.
If you have your download client set to automatically download alpha/beta versions you should definitely have backups.
A simple way to back up the saved variables file is to just do a copy and paste then rename the new file (using the version number of ArkInventory or the date is a good idea), eg ArkInventory-30900.lua, or ArkInventory-20191228.lua

Posted Nov 5, 2012Hi,
I logged onto my horde alt (my only toon that is not on my main realm), and saw that the LDB plugin for ArkInv money was showing my horde toon's guild name but with the amount of money my main guild bank has. It would only update if I actually interacted with the guild bank vault for my horde toon's guild.

Posted Nov 4, 2012Hi Arkayenro,
The broker mount randomizer keeps forgetting the new MoP mounts. I'm able to re-select them and get them to cast, but logging out causes all the MoP mounts to be forgotten.
Is there any way to fix this? Or is the problem in my own config?
Thanks

Posted Nov 4, 2012its not you, its me :)
i fixed it in my code (im getting the info from the bblizzard api now) and thought id uploaded, but obviously not. got sidetracked fixing up mounts and pets (still needs some polishing)
i'll upload 16 tonight as what im up to is decent enough (i'll just lock the changer window in the pets location hidden as its not really ready - its a quick replacement for the battlepet slots)

Posted Nov 4, 2012Here is a part of lua I copy from an addon called"LilSparkysWorkshop"which can show material auction prices in tradeskill window,It support many aucton addons ,such as "trade skill master","auctoneer"...
I think maybe useful for you
"
local function AuctionMarketPrice(itemID)
local marketValue, currentQuantity, lastScan, seen, minBuyout = TSMAPI:GetData("market", itemID)
return marketValue, seen
end
local function AuctionMinBuyout(itemID)
local marketValue, currentQuantity, lastScan, seen, minBuyout = TSMAPI:GetData("market", itemID)
if currentQuantity ~= nil and currentQuantity > 0 then
return minBuyout, currentQuantity
else
return marketValue, seen
end
end
local function Init()
-- LSW:ChatMessage("LilSparky's Workshop adding TradeSkillMaster support")
LSW:RegisterAlgorithm("TradeSkillMaster - Market Value", AuctionMarketPrice)
LSW:RegisterAlgorithm("TradeSkillMaster - Min. Buyout", AuctionMinBuyout)
end
local function Test(index)
if TSMAPI then
return true
end
return false
end
LSW:RegisterPricingSupport("TradeSkillMaster", Test, Init)
end"

Posted Nov 3, 2012not sure if anyone has ever asked for this, but it sure would make my life easier...
Right now, if I have 200 rough stone, it takes up 10 spots on the screen, which in turn is a real estate pig.
Is there a way I can see only 1 item with 200 instead10 with 20 each. I realize that you can't change the physical stack cap in game, but in the inventory/bag app it should be relaitvely easy?
Regardless, I have been using this addon for as long as I can remember. Its great, it gives the kind of categorization functionality I like, so thank you.

Posted Nov 4, 2012unfortunately no, ai uses direct mapping and hands off all of the processing to the underlying blizzard code.
if i had to virtualise the items i'd need to write a whole bunch of intermediary code. possible but it would take a long time to get it working.

Posted Nov 4, 2012rename your arkinventory saved variables and then start wow, see if the issue is still there - translation errors are usually the game being exceedingly slow returning tooltip data but its possible the saved variables is corrupt.
if it still gives you errors on the new sv file then its the game, if not then it was the sv file - you can mail it to me and ill try to save your config.
if you have a backup you can restore that instead (yeah i know)

Posted Oct 31, 2012I am trying to get bag/category names to show up. I go to config->settings->bags->bars->name and check show, and I can see the space being generated on top of the bars/categories for where the name should fit, but I see no bar titles. What am I doing wrong?

Posted Oct 30, 2012recently, I'm being unable to utilize the search feature for arkinventory - the large search box will pop up, but no items show up after I've typed in the item I'm looking for. Nor can I just search within the bags themselves anymore, any suggestions? Thanks for having such an awesome add on overall! I love the sorting features.

Posted Oct 31, 2012it relies on the server coming back with tooltip data (im presuming yours isnt cached for whatever reason so it only displays the icon)
i know i had an issue last light with a glyph not having a tooltip for more than 10 minutes so its possible its just a server issue that will go away

Posted Oct 30, 2012be nice as a wishlist sorta thing, when looking for vault icons for the window to be a bit damn bigger than it is, and maybe a search function based on the ID # to make it a bit faster when you really wanna find that one icon. just 2c

Posted Oct 30, 2012This may seem like an odd question. I've been using AI for some time now. However, all of my toons up until recently have been in the same faction on one realm. I recently created a toon of the opposite faction on a different realm.
Should AI tooltips show information from both realms, or does it only work on a per realm basis? Does that also apply to the money LDB? It's only showing the gold I have for that particular realm.

Posted Oct 31, 2012not by default, you can turn it on in the config, under tooltips. the LDB money object will only show same faction because there isnt a way to directly transfer gold across factions (that i know of)

Posted Oct 31, 2012I unchecked "Faction only" on both my Alliance toons and the Horde toon, which is on a different realm. The tooltip counts are still only showing the count for the realm I'm on at that moment. I'm assuming that's the correct setting.
